...to me and my beloved D7000 (2 days ago, actually). It was supposed to be a stopgap measure while I waited for a new full frame body to be released by Nikon, but tsunamis and floods did in a few of their critical factories and everything got stalled. Yet somehow, Canon still managed to announced their upcoming EOS-1D X in the interim. Don't get me started on that because it sounds PHENOMENAL! I'm no fanboi--I'd gladly switch to Canon or have both systems but since I'm not independently wealthy, I don't have the option to rebuild my lens arsenal. (Okay, that's a total lie, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Nikon fanatic since my film days.) Fortunately, my need for a new full frame body has been significantly tempered by the lovely and capable instrument that is my D7000.
Just how much do I love this little camera? In the 12 months since I've had this camera, I've captured 25,143 frames. That's CRAZY! I don't get to show the bulk of my images because I do class photos for both boys, MOMS Club images, and Scouting shots and those are shown in private galleries for parents to view their own children. Also, I don't post entire sessions on my professional blog because I do many posed shots that are not at all my style but I know that that's what many clients want (Although...why?!? It's not what I show in my portfolio and not what I show in my blog, why would you expect me to create images in a style I never display?). And as far as this blog is concerned, I can't possibly show every frame so I have to edit myself and cut out anything that isn't absolutely necessary to the story I'm telling. Sometimes I select a lesser image (e.g., in composition, focus, etc.) because it makes a substantive contribution to the retelling of whatever event I'm visually summarizing so that all the images stand together cohesively.
Wow, I really rambled on there. Hmm...why did I even voice that? My rambling has been the nature of this entire blog!
Here are unrelated photos of the boys at a park they've lovingly named Green Lake Park:
